Enjoying a drink in the Beer Garden of the Bucks County Playhouse. It was a beautiful afternoon. I had a Maker’s Mark on the rocks, while Justin went with a delightfully refreshing Pineapple Hefeweizen.

Restaurant Review: China Star (Bethlehem, PA)
Bethlehem on a Monday night is sleepy. Bethlehem on a Monday night after 10 PM after a few hours at the casino is dead. We searched online and drove around trying to find something. Anything. When it seemed like our only option was a Perkins, we did one more search and found a nearby Chinese…
A Quick Stop at Gaslight
This is not a review, just a quick piece to say that I have finally been to Gaslight in Atlantic Highlands. They have been around since 2014 and I have worked in town since 2011. I have always heard this was an ultra-hipster spot. The restaurant actually bears no name, simply a literal gaslight in…

These two go very well together.
Restaurant Review: The Wine Cellar at Lambertville Station (Lambertville, NJ)
My friend and co-worker Nick and I had been wanting to take a trip somewhere for a while. A place far enough that it feels like we’re getting away from the normal grind and routine, but close enough to do it in a day. I suggested the New Hope/Lambertville area, and he agreed since he…

Fake candle. Real whiskey.

An addition to the top of my bar. It was found in a bin of antiques I was going through in my basement as we prepared to move last month.

We have a double-shot for today’s “Photo of the Day”. Our Jazz Nights at the museum are BYOB. I thought it would be nice to bring along a little Woodford Reserve. A few of us promptly killed what was left before moving on to the star of the show: Wild Turkey bourbon out of a…
Travel Guide MD: The Globe (Berlin)
The Globe is an old theater built in the 1900’s. It has been renovated but not to the point where you do not know its former use. After all, the dining area is broken up into two spaces: the downstairs where the seats used to be and the actual stage which you have to walk…
Photo of the Day: November 19, 2017
My friend Walter and I (who I semi-profiled here) hanging out at the Strauss Mansion Museum during our monthly Jazz concert series. He’s drinking his usual white wine while I have Buffalo Trace bourbon and Pepsi 1893 cola. September 2017.
Restaurant Reviews: Meemom’s (Middletown, NJ)
There was a cheesesteak staring at me on the menu with ingredients such as Guinness-soaked onions, hot cherry peppers, and two kinds of cheese that had my mouth-watering. Then a near-full page of French Toast beckoned. After our friendly and super-knowledgeable waitress explained the menu and noted how Meemom’s is known for their French Toast,…
Travel Guide PA: Kennett Square’s Half Moon Closes After 20 Years
I’m a little late here. Okay, very late. The Half Moon Restaurant and Saloon closed in March. After only two visits, it became a favorite for Will and I when out in Pennsylvania. It also holds distinction as being one of just a handful of restaurants to have more than one post devoted to it….
